Business Behind-The-Scenes & State Of The Podcast Chat: Episode 396



Running a full-time independent podcast company keeps us busy – so busy that we don’t often pause to let listeners in to how it all works! As we approach the end of 2022, Meagan and Sarah share what’s up behind the scenes at The Mom Hour. We start with a lightning round of frequently asked questions (how’d we meet? do we fight? how does the podcast make money?) and move into bigger thoughts about our industry as a whole and the current economic landscape. We also take a look back at how we’ve grown over the years (particularly the past two), profess our love for fellow women podcasters whose names you’ll definitely recognize, and share what’s next for The Mom Hour. Enjoy!

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • Sarah referenced this episode of Pantsuit Politics which provides some behind-the-scenes information about the state of the podcast industry.
  • Meagan wrote a guide for supporting content creators during a recession that’s PACKED with ideas
  • We couldn’t do this without the support of our podcast people! We encourage you to check out their podcasts to support them!
